food IS a theme park
There are a lot of changes coming to Disney World this fall.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom
Perhaps the BIGGEST change is that we won’t be hangin’ with our villainous Disney pals this Halloween. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has been canceled this year. Now, those who have purchased tickets to the event will receive refunds.
Disney World will officially start reopening its theme parks on July 11th. And they have already revealed that a few experiences like parades and fireworks would be suspended when the parks reopen.

This left us questioning how Disney World would handle special ticketed events that offer special entertainment offerings like limited-time fireworks, meet and greets, and parades. Would they still happen? How would Disney modify the experience? Now, Disney has officially released information pertaining to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
It seems like there’s always something special happening at Disney World!

Quick recap: Disney World closed in March, kept accepting reservations, announced reopening dates, then wiped out existing dining and FastPass+ reservations. Now what? Disney is still sorting our their plan of action for the reopening, but let’s take a look at each part of your vacation to see what they are currently refunding!
Even though it’s still the springtime, we’ve got Halloween on our minds!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
The spookiest holiday of the year starts early in Disney World with the first day of Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party set for August 13th. How we love a late-summer Halloween! That early start might mean that there are some changes to the way the party works this year. If new measures are still in place by August, how might Mickey’s Not So Scary be different? Let’s take a look!
